Default 54 cal hawkens build update

I was sanding my stock with 0000 steel wool and noticed a few spots on the stock that the finish was chipped to the wood. so I decided to go on and refinish the whole stock because it was the only way to fix that.

there was a thick layer of wax on the stock. so thick the stripper could not even get the finish. took 3 coats of stripper to get the stock to 90% ready for the sanding process. there is still wax on the stock. so I am going to try to sand the rest of the finish off. I have not made up my mind how I am going to finish this stock.

also, I won all the screws I need as well as a few other parts I will need for 10.95 shipped off ebay.

still need
nose piece
butt plate
trigger guard
most important
lock.

lord this going to take sometime. lol
